What do travel agencies mean by free travel and semi-free travel?

1. Price

Travel agencies are only responsible for accommodation and transportation, and the money paid to the travel agency is relatively small.

The cost of semi-independent travel to travel agencies is more than that of independent travel.

2. Degree of freedom.

When traveling independently, you need to make your own travel strategy. Which attractions to visit and where to eat are all your own decisions.

In a semi-independent tour, you generally need to follow a tour guide to visit scenic spots for half of the time. If there is no specification in the contract, you will also need to enter a shopping store, while the other half of the time can be freely planned.

3. Disadvantages

Free travel takes a lot of time and effort, and the cost is uncontrollable.

If you meet a non-high-quality tour guide during a semi-independent tour, you may miss truly valuable attractions for the purpose of generating income for the tour guide or travel agency. :

Semi-independent travel is another product form that is different from independent travel and group tours. Some tour guides and scenic spots are arranged in the itinerary, and some are free activities, so it is called semi-independent travel.

Free travel is an emerging way of travel. Accommodation and transportation will be arranged by the travel agency, but there will be no tour guide, and meals will be arranged by the travelers themselves. It is more free and convenient, the time schedule can be adjusted at will, and the tours on the itinerary can also be changed as you like.
